Operation modes

This unit features two operation modes: the 3-

way network mode (NW) and the standard

mode (STD). You can switch between modes

as desired. Initially, the DSP setting is set to

the standard mode (STD). (Refer to Switching

the DSP setting mode on page 4.)

ate a 3-way multi-amp, multi-speaker sys-

tem with separate speakers for

reproduction of high, middle and low fre-

quencies (bands), each driven by a dedi-

cated power amp. The 3-way network mode

provides network and time alignment func-

tions, two functions essential for a multi-

amp, multi-speaker system, to enable pre-

cise control over settings for each fre-

quency range.

! The standard mode (STD) lets you create a

4-speaker system with front and rear speak-

ers, or a 6-speaker system with front and

rear speakers and subwoofers.
